brian m. carlson 1f010d6bdf doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc files
We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files.  While not
wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc,
meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that
could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting.

It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files,
since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows
various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering.  Let's do that
here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where
relevant.  Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new
extension as well.

Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the
documentation.

feature.*::
The config settings that start with `feature.` modify the defaults of
a group of other config settings. These groups are created by the Git
developer community as recommended defaults and are subject to change.
In particular, new config options may be added with different defaults.
feature.experimental::
Enable config options that are new to Git, and are being considered for
future defaults. Config settings included here may be added or removed
with each release, including minor version updates. These settings may
have unintended interactions since they are so new. Please enable this
setting if you are interested in providing feedback on experimental
features. The new default values are:
+
* `fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=skipping` may improve fetch negotiation times by
skipping more commits at a time, reducing the number of round trips.
+
* `pack.useBitmapBoundaryTraversal=true` may improve bitmap traversal times by
walking fewer objects.
+
* `pack.allowPackReuse=multi` may improve the time it takes to create a pack by
reusing objects from multiple packs instead of just one.
feature.manyFiles::
Enable config options that optimize for repos with many files in the
working directory. With many files, commands such as `git status` and
`git checkout` may be slow and these new defaults improve performance:
+
* `index.skipHash=true` speeds up index writes by not computing a trailing
checksum. Note that this will cause Git versions earlier than 2.13.0 to
refuse to parse the index and Git versions earlier than 2.40.0 will report
a corrupted index during `git fsck`.
+
* `index.version=4` enables path-prefix compression in the index.
+
* `core.untrackedCache=true` enables the untracked cache. This setting assumes
that mtime is working on your machine.
